Please join us for our annual DWPC Equality Luncheon as we remember the leadership and sacrifice of the many women, across our county, who championed the passage of the 19th Amendment. It was not an easy accomplishment, but they never wavered from their path to secure voting rights for women.
In their honor, please wear white to show our continued commitment to women’s rights.
This year, we are honored to have Justice Anita Earls as speaker to share stories about women’s rights in our community, and what she’s doing from the NC Supreme Court bench to continue the fight.
The DWPC Equality Luncheon is our biggest fundraiser of the year. In 2024 we raised and contributed nearly $14,000 to candidates – but there is so much more that needs to be done in order to win elections in North Carolina.
Our team is planning the immensely popular silent auction for the event and we need your help. Please consider donating an item for the auction – we are asking that the value of the item be at least $25.00. Please call our Social Chair, Teresa Pekard, at 321-231-2747 at arrange a drop off or pick-up of your item before August 16th.
Register for the 2025 DWPC Equality Luncheon. Tickets are $30.00 per person.

The Democratic Women of North Carolina is dedicated to engaging women with the work of the Democratic Party. We work to get women to vote, support women who run for office, and work to get Democrats up and down the ticket elected (especially if they are women!). We make sure women have a seat at the table.

DWPC has been part of this community since 2016. We have grown by working to help our neighbors make Pender County a better place to live and work.
DWPC's mission is to support Democratic candidates get elected in Pender County, North Carolina and on the Federal Level.
We will turn Pender BLUE in 2024 with your support.
Everyone has unique talents and when you join DWPC, you can join with like-minded women throughout Pender County and make a difference.
A simple way to financially support DWPC and our future democratic candidates is to make a donation to our sustaining fund. You can donate whatever amount is comfortable for you in a one-time donation or you can make it a recurring donation. At the 2025 Planning Meeting, the group set our fundraising goal to be $15,000.

Dear All,
I love this group! I'm proud of this group. And I hope you all feel the same way. Or, if you're new, and there are many of you who are, I hope you come to feel this way. Fortunately, there is a magic formula for those feelings. Get involved!
We have never lived through a more important and impactful time. I use the word impactful because we all can and need to have an impact on what's happening in our county, state, and country.
Over the course of the next four years, DWPC will continue our election work; locally, state-wide, and for our national leaders. But, we will also be increasing our activism, resistance, and community outreach. At the Democratic National Convention last August, Michelle Obama told us to DO SOMETHING! And I'm sure she didn't mean we should stop after the election.
If you're following us on Facebook, InstaGram, or on our website, I'm sure you're seeing posts about opportunities to get involved. And if you're not following us, you should be!
In addition, I'm asking you to register on Mobiliize, Indivisible, Democracy NC, Red Wine and Blue, or the National Democratic Training Committee. They will help you get started. Join the DNC. Join League of Women Voters of Lower Cape Fear. Join NAACP. Many members of DWPC are also members of these groups, as we have common missions.
Making our voices heard doesn't stop with our vote. It just starts there!
Connie Nelson - DWPC President
Thanks for everyone's hard work! We made a difference in Pender County
